    Primary vs Secondary teaching? What's the difference?

    In this episode Stew and Mark get to chat with Deb about her teaching career, in particular swapping between Primary and Secondary teaching. A very eye-opening conversation about not only the differences between the systems, but we also enjoyed picking Deb's brain about how she has perceived education as a whole changing across her 25+ years in the classroom. Due to some poor planning on Stew's (actually Mark's) behalf, Mark and Stew had to share a microphone - probably good for a guest to get a word in for a change!

    Is Suspending Students Actually Effective?

    Is the traditional approach to student suspensions truly effective, or are we just offering students an unintended break? Join us as we unpack this controversial subject with Cara, a head of department and dedicated Roosters fan, who offers her unique insights into the world of educational discipline. Together, we challenge the common narrative portrayed in the media, advocating for alternatives that could transform classroom dynamics for the better. Cara sheds light on the impact of suspensions on all involved parties—teachers, students, and their families—while we debate whether internal suspensions or educational interventions might be a more constructive approach. Managing student behavior is no small feat, especially for those who don't fit into the conventional classroom setting. We explore the vital role that parents play in this scenario, as well as the frustrating bottleneck they face due to long waiting lists for professional help. Our conversation takes a deep dive into the transitional challenges between primary and secondary schools, emphasizing the need for seamless support systems. We also reflect on societal influences and the collaborative efforts necessary between educators and parents to foster meaningful change in student behavior. Cara helps us dissect the logistics of student suspensions, pondering whether these measures truly deter misbehavior or merely serve as a temporary fix. We discuss innovative approaches to internal suspensions, including engaging students in community-building activities within the school. The discussion also touches on the merits of fostering accountability through face-to-face apologies, questioning how schools can implement such practices despite logistical hurdles. Wrapping up with a lighthearted nod to the power of inspirational quotes, we underscore the importance of humility, authenticity, and positive action in reshaping the educational landscape.
